A NFL team should not plan to tank for the highest draft pick

If they have any pride at all, then play the hardest you can to win. If you suck and lose out, that's fine.

If playing with half hearted effort and a losing mentality, then go the fug home. I'd rather have a team that gives 110% then one that drags ass across the field in a losing effort. 

Never a sure thing in the draft. Play to win and let the chips fall where they may.

What do you want them to? Just lay down and give up? Yes Pride....in themselves as men. You always give the best effort you can at your profession.

More often then not the #1 overall does not end up changing the course of a franchise (just looking back on the last 30 years of #1 overalls).  It would be much better if Wilks managed to turn some things around this season and identify core players to build around.

There aren't any "psst... let them win" conversations. The conversations with the players and coaches are like this now "psst... the coaches were fired, the players are next, so give it your all."

Even so, it's better if we lose out for draft position. We're not trying to lose, but losing helps us at this point.

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
